As I have explained earlier, I am using Leafpad instead of gedit in my Ubuntu system. However, recent versions of Ubuntu does not have Leafpad available through APT any longer, you have to install it with Snap instead. This is quite annoying, since the Snap packaging of Leafpad is too restrictive, it cannot access hidden files in your home directory, nor anything in ~/bin/. This is not good, since I often want to use Leafpad to edit such files.
